George Robertson 1756
« on: Wednesday 22 January 14 21:45 GMT (UK) »
Advice need please.  In my family tree I have George Robertson b 1756 in Fife. He married on the  20th December 1793 at Inverkeithing, Fife a Elizabeth Malcom. They had six children. In the 1841 census George resided in Dunfermline, Fife. 

Where can find more information on George Robertson such as parents please and also on Elizabeth Malcom?

Thank you, for that information.  I was not aware. I do not have the official documention, I am gathering information from in the main Ancestry which I know people sometimes unintentially enter incorrect information based on information gathered by others.  It appears myself included.

I will check again and if anyone can please advice me where I can find records pre the date above of George Robertson or his wife that would be most helpful, thank you.

Do I gather from this that George was twice married or are we talking about two different George Robertsons?

Thank you, I do recall that there have been variations on Ancestry with peoples own family,  some Mill and some Malcolm. Therefore it would be good to have clarification if possible please.
